Also, it boils down to simple economics: it's well documented that the longer a console can persist on the high - street shelves, the more profitable it becomes, as economies of
scale reduce manufacturing costs, while a large install base means publishers can sell more copies of their latest games.
The case for the PlayStation 5 also boils down to simple economics: it's well documented that the longer a console can persist on the high - street shelves, the more profitable it becomes over time, as economies of
scale reduce manufacturing costs, while a large install base means publishers can sell more copies of their latest games.
Not exact matches
In cooperation with strategic battery
manufacturing partners, we're planning to build a large
scale factory that will allow us to achieve economies of
scale and minimize
costs through innovative
manufacturing, reduction of logistics waste, optimization of co-located processes and
reduced overhead.
Without it, the company will have trouble securing enough battery supply to make hundreds of thousands of EVs (which they plan to do for the upcoming, more affordable Model 3, to be unveiled in March 2016), and it will have trouble
reducing its prices enough to attract Mr. and Mrs. Everybody (the Gigafactory is expected to slash
costs by at least 30 % through economies of
scale and high - tech
manufacturing).
A senior administration official said the idea is to create large pockets of opportunity for wind developers so they can
reduce costs through economies of
scale, and through state investments in workforce training,
manufacturing and electric infrastructure.
«Economies of
scale have greatly
reduced the
cost of silicon
manufacturing,» said Professor Ted Sargent, an expert in emerging solar technologies and the Canada Research Chair in Nanotechnology.
Doing so in a more green way —
reducing chemical waste during preparation — could
reduce manufacturing costs and allow for larger -
scale materials, she said.
Moreover, widespread implementation of distributed, local electricity generation — especially low -
cost, high - efficiency thin - film photovoltaics like those now being
manufactured by Nanosolar for the municipal utility market, and other innovative PV technologies like the cylindrical PV modules being
manufactured by Solyndra for commercial rooftop applications — will greatly
reduce the need for large -
scale, centralized baseload generation.
The potential for breakthroughs in solar PV technology, such as next - generation thin film materials,
reduced capital intensity of
manufacturing capacity as well as continued improvements in the
scale and capacity factor of wind technology means the levelized
cost of energy could continue to fall.
